I would have been more likely to figure out this bypass as a 6 year old than I would be now that I have a slight understanding of how these things are *supposed* to work.
@@neilkurzman4907It seems that people end up using "to pick" to mean "non-destructive entry", which is technically incorrect as you basically said. It is understandable though, picking is by far the most popular instance of non-destructive ways to unlock.
Bypass, not pick. Picking requires some skill. 'Normal' users aren't, and shouldn't be particularly concerned with how pickable a lock is for low security situations. Obviously something that can be opened in 5 seconds by raking is bad, but even that is a skill. (I'm awful at raking and I can't figure out WHY!!! I have 7-pin locks with security pins that I can open but I have only ever gotten raking to work a handful of times, even on locks that someone has HANDED me after raking it open.) How easy it is to pick most normal locks is usually a manufacturing problem. Picking relies on things being slightly out of alignment and/or tolerances not being perfect. We live in the physical world. nothing is ever perfect. Any normal lock is eventually pickable. Conversely, a bypass flaw is a major design problem. These are often ZERO skill attacks. Knowing the bypass exists is often all it takes to use it. A car door that a novice can open with tools in a few minutes isn't great. A car door that anyone can open by pulling the handle sharply 3-4 times is on a totally different level.
@@SyRose901 Not in real life it isn't. Criminals don't pick locks. Locksmiths (sometimes) pick locks. Sometimes spies and spooks do too. Hobbyists pick locks. Criminals would MUCH rather bypass a lock. No skill required. No/few tools required. No obvious broken lock left when they leave.
If you see Master in the title of an LPL video, you can expect a short video. He didn't break out the wave rake this time, so hey, that's something new.
@@asdfghyter yea the wave rake is at least a little bit slower than having the actual key, everything used in this video is just as fast and easy as just using the key lol
It would cost them millions of dollars to redesign and retool the manufacturing facilities. They just do a cost-benefit analysis and decide that the buying public doesn't know how bad this design is for their security.
I love to see an interview with one of the talking heads at Masterlock when they are confronted with the overwhelming evidence that their locks are garbage.
would probably sound like this: "At Master Lock, we remain committed to delivering exceptional products that consistently meet the needs and expectations of our valued customers. While we understand that there may be concerns from some individuals, our steadfast dedication to quality and innovation has resulted in continued strong sales and market success. We are confident in the superiority of our offerings, as evidenced by the overwhelming positive reception from satisfied customers worldwide. Rest assured, our unwavering commitment to excellence ensures that our products continue to outshine the competition and provide unparalleled value. Thank you for your continued support and trust in Master Lock."
@@Judnowski Damn, straight out of the "lots of words but nothing said" handbook! :-) Very well written and exactly what they would say... oh and what anybody selling everything from tomatoes to airplanes could say! :-)
I mean if you can scrounge up a tool whenever you need to access your stuff, otherwise you will likely forget your tool too. And if you manage to carry the tool in a way that you dont forget it, then you just taught yourself a way to carry a spare key in a way you wont forget it. But it might still work for ya.
We used them at work for this reason. I like to have something that's easy to remove when the stores invariably lose the key 😂 they're also cheaper than a good pack of cutting discs
on the thumbnail, they looked like they were made of wood. and my first thought was, if they get wet, they will swell and be harder to open, and that's a better security upgrade than most master locks.
This is the most secure lock in the universe! It can't be picked... It can't be jimmied... It can't be jolted... The key won't even work!!!! Keep away from fires, heat, open flames, termites, carpenters, carpenter ants and small children with chainsaws.
Total video length 1:58, that includes intro, outro and mention of Covert Instruments, that shouldn't really leave time for 3 locks each bypassed twice. Congratulations Master Lock and LPL for a slick presentation.
@@percevalzinzin5983 I have a masterlock that would be nearly impossible for LPL to open. It has been on my back gate for over 30 years, and hasn't been opened in nearly 20 years.
@@harpintn Hehe... LPL would use its 36-inch King Dick tool (see recent video) and get your oldie Masterlockie open... he would be in trouble b/c he couldn't do it twice and show it was NOT A FLUKE 🙂
Yep, they'll keep making them like this so long as people keep buying them. The answer is for word to get out such that the MasterLock brand no longer has any credibility with the public. Once the brand is trash, and the public stop buying, then the company will start paying attention to actual security.
LPL: there’s this bypass on these locks where you can stick a pick in and just open them. McNally: or you can just hit it with something and it’ll open right up
One of the reason I like watching LPL videos despite that I'll ever see my self picking locks is that it's straight to the point. I wish that more video is like this instead of dragging it to 15mins long
@@XtreeM_FaiL Because shielding the back is a trivial fix. And they've gone the other direction with other lock companies they bought, removing anti-bypass features to save a few cents.
@@XtreeM_FaiL They didn't put even a bit of shielding. A single piece of material blocking the path would be enough. It'd cost a tad bit more, but it doesn't require a factory upgrade...
These types of locks are designed for use with shipping containers. The parts they bolt together are covered with a shroud that's built into the overlapping container door.
I used to work for... well, let's just say they were a company heavily associated with Master Lock, many years ago. I purchased a mountain bike and locked it up with two of Master's more heavy duty locks. It was stolen less than a week after purchase, and when I discovered the theft all that was left was the two locks on the ground; one clearly had been smashed to pieces but the other was in pristine condition, my key still worked perfectly. I decided not long afterwards that I couldn't continue selling a product I had no faith in and moved on shortly afterwards. It's a shame really, as some of their products really are quite innovative, but it's all let down by an apparent and steadfast refusal to put the effort into improving the actual security of their locks, and they really have earned and deserve the scorn that LPL gives them (as well as mine). On a side note; I'm still hoping LPL has a crack at an Abloy Protec lock at some point soon. That would be a genuinely fascinating, and probably a very long, video.
Master Disaster locks founded in 1921, the only thing that has changed over the years, is it's age. Thanks for the shows LPL, and the seconds it takes to break open locks.
Wrong. What changed is they got bought out by another company. Which is a problem. This is one part of capitalism that should've never been allowed to exist in its current format. Owning multiple brands should be limited to a very small number (of brands) or a very small capital (combined). Because this is just a cash cow now. This garbage is shoveled all the way from china with the sole purpose of having a presence on the market. They don't care that their product is trash. They own it and they'll shovel it until you stop buying it.
You could probably make a decent amount of money including a link to a recommended alternative from Amazon. I desperately need a lock like this for my trailer ASAP. Coincidentally your video came out a couple hours before I was going to head to the store. I would love to have had a recommended option at the end of the video as well.
As a lawyer, he knows very well the pitfalls of recommending a product. BosnianBill occasionally did recs, so you could try looking over at his channel. Alas, there will be no more new stuff as Bill has retired from RU-vid. You could also just see if a lock you think might be good ended up on this channel.
The closest thing to a recommendation that I've seen him give is to PACLOCK. Search that name here on his channel and you'll find it. That's what I use now for all my locking needs.
Unshielded keyway, comb pick, and you can just slam them together to open them. Like how a master key can open any lock, a Master Lock can be opened with any key.
When I saw multiple of the same lock on the table I really thought we were going to get a "This is a master lock 607 it can be open with a master lock 607"
LPL just prooved that these are no locks! 👍👌👏 Extremely well done again and as always. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
LPL videos being short is great because i can watch this man show me that all locks are a lie in the bathroom at work and still be back in time. awesome 👍
One would think a lock manufacturer would watch these videos, and improve their designs. But.... nope. 😑 Thank you LPL for showing us what we shouldn't use!
As long as people keep buying them they will never change things. Even the simplest flaws could possibly cost 10s of thousands to redesign or even if it’s just 10 cents they still ain’t changing it while their locks keep selling as they are. They are cheap and most people won’t or can’t afford to buy better more expensive brands so they are left with nothing or a masterlock
I have a Stanley tools lock that looks exactly like the bigger one, except it's written Stanley. Checked the key, same format but nickel plated and with Stanley engraved on it. It's the same lock.
Only two quotes needed .... "These are locks to avoid" and "The 606" ... as he starts and ends the picking of a 606 with what is a pointed bit of metal ...
